Rate this book
A boy with a gift. A force with a mission. An epic pursuit through the multiverse.

Max is an ordinary teen with an extraordinary affliction. His mind shifts between parallel universes whenever he falls asleep. This creates untold chaos in the fourth dimension, which mobilizes an equally extraordinary force to hunt him down. The resulting chase pits an unshakable sleuth against an uncatchable target.

* Note: this title also serves as the final book of Max and the Multiverse.

Greetings, Earthling!

My name is Zachry Wheeler and I'm a science fiction novelist based on Earth. I was chosen to serve as translator for all terrestrial editions of Puki Horpocket Presents, a literary series beloved throughout the universe.

It's been a great honor.

It's also been super stressful.

Decoding an alien tongue is daunting at a baseline, let alone through the prestigious lens of Puki Horpocket. He is renowned for his unique blend of commentary, interviews, and dramatic depictions. My job is to stick the landing for human readers. I sincerely hope that I do his words justice, but admittedly, I sometimes feel like a toddler translating Orwell.

The Durangoni Space Station is home to countless species and cultures, and thus, countless lexicons. Some things are universal, like beer. Other things are regional, like atmo barriers on artificial oceans. Some things are truly horrifying and do not warrant translation, regardless of their pop culture equivalents.

I did my best, but aliens be weird, y'all.

Puki Horpocket tales are chock-full of excitement, debauchery, and blatant disregard for delicate sensibilities. Fair warning: the language is lewd and the characters are crude, so keep your wits inside the vehicle and enjoy the ride.

Have I mentioned before that Zeedub's stories are zany, impossible and incredibly fun to read? No? Well, perhaps I didn't say all of that at once, but they definitely are. His latest and greatest wraps up both the Puki Horpocket series AND the Max and the Multiverse series all at once! See, impossible stories! And it is another fun romp around the Multiverse with ALL of the characters from Puki and the best of the characters from Max! Not only does the tale tie up all of the loose ends, it has a lot of fun doing it. Read it! You know you want to!

Zachry Wheeler ... ahem. Excuse me, Puki Horpocket does it again! These books are each a delightful space romp of epic ridiculousness. Every character, from Puki to Ross (the orange cat) are amazing and so realistic. The world building is phenomenal from the mental hospital to the Suth'ra safe planet.
So many awesome little goodies in this book made me giggle! I love the Hitchhiker's Guide reference. Guy and Gal are a trip. It's hilarious that Gal's voice is super deep. "I like your sandpaper mud wall." Ferret worshipping cults! The Great Ferret Holy War! I mean, who doesn't like ferrets?!

One of my favorite current authors writes another wonderful addition in the series. My only complaint is that it ended.

A great end to Max and the Multiverse, but hopefully not the end to Puki Horpocket
